yeah, they did it in Salt Lake City before the big ANA show here in 2001. Except our puny city only got two released into circulation. They were the famed 1914-D cents in VF or XF. Don't know if they were ever found.

This was done at the Central States Show in Columbus, Ohio last year (2002). The local newspaper runs a Sunday column called Coin Comment. The writer announced that four 1914D Lincoln Cents, valued at $100 each, were going to be released into circulation as a promotion for the show. Never heard if any of the coins were found and turned in.
